Step 1: Plug the round jack from the power cord into the back of the radio and the other end into a wall outlet. On the back of the radio turn the main power switch to ON.

13 13 Steps to Connect Your Radio to Your Wireless Network Getting Started Step 1 - Power up the radio To power your radio connect the AC Power on the back of your Nostalgic Radio to a wall power outlet and turn the master power switch on the back. Then the radio can be switched on and off with the Power / Vol button on the front of the radio. Once powered on, the display on the front of the radio will light up and show: Grace Digital Radio After a few seconds, the screen will change to show : Initializing Network After a few seconds, the screen will change to show: Scan for networks Enter network View Config Edit Config Step 2 - Scan for a wireless network connection When the display show <Scan for networks>, press the Select button. (NOTE: IF you make an error at any point, press the Back button to return the previous screen) The Nostalgic will now scan for all available wireless networks and will display:

14 14 Scanning IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IF the radio does not find a wireless network router, the display will show: No networks Found If this happens after subsequent attempts you should setup your wireless access point working - see the instructions supplied with your wireless network. When NOSTALGIC RADIO finds your wireless network, the display will show ESS-ID for the access point on the screen - this name is the name ascribed to the access point by the person who set up the network - for example: < My Home Network > It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio will find more than one wireless access point, in which case you can choose which one you want to connect to. Turn the knob on your radio to see the ESS-ID for each access point your radio has found. For optimal performance you may want to check your home network settings to make sure your radio is on a deferent channel than your neighbors. To do this please consult your Wi-Fi router owner s manual Step 3 - Connect to the wireless network When the ESS-ID for the access point you want to connect to is displayed on the screen, press OK. IF your network is not configured to require an encryption code, the screen should display: Connecting to Network

15 15 then: Network OK IF the screen displays either WEP or WPA, a password is required: Enter WEP key OR Enter WPA key Then the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA or WPA2). You therefore need to enter the correct WEP or WPA password on your NOSTALGIC RADIO to communicate with your network. Only the person who set up the network in the first place knows this password; if that person is not you then you need to find out the password. You can do this by checking with the Customer Service of your internet provider or the manufacturer of your wireless router. After approximately 3 seconds, the display goes into the password entry mode: <END A BCDEF> To enter the password, use the Push / Scroll dial to select each letter/number/symbol of the password in turn, pressing the Push/Scroll dial after each letter. NOTE: WEP and WPA passwords are UPPER and lower case sensitive and MUST be entered exactly HINT: Use the Back button to erase incorrect characters as you may have entered. IF the display shows: Invalid key or Network Error an incorrect password has probably been entered. After entering the final letter/number/symbol, scroll to find and select END and press OK.

16 16 Once the password is entered correctly, your NOSTALGIC RADIO will now be able to connect to the network. Your radio will connect to the selected network without having to re-enter a password. Your password will be saved in your Grace radio even if a power outage occurs. NOTE: IF you would like to give your radio a static IP address then please see the Network config section under the Setting section. Choosing a radio station to listen to 1.
